Synthesis Matrix & Literature Review in Business
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I'm in need of a comprehensive 3000-word synthesis matrix and a 1000-word literature review focused on the field of Business and Economics.
Please remember that the Reading List is a starting point, and you should use the Internet search engines provided by the university. We do not recommend reliance on Google or Google Scholar – these engines will not provide full access to the academic material that you need for this assessment.
Assignment Information
In this assignment, you will write a critical review of the literature related to ONE of the business and management topics below:
• How remote working has changed people management in one sector or industry of your choice
• Global supply chains during a period of political or economic disruption
• The impact of technology on small to medium-sized businesses
A critical literature review is a “detailed overview of the significant literature available about your chosen topic, providing a discussion and critical evaluation, and using clear argument to contextualise and justify your research” (Saunders et al., 2018:33).
In this task, you will present how you have developed and structured your literature review explaining how you have gathered your academic sources and how you have critically evaluated the way in which these sources support your literature review. We also ask students to identify and consider gaps in the current literature.
The assessment will consist of a synthesis matrix of 3000 words and a literature review of 1000 words.
The synthesis matrix will consist of information in tabular form where you will describe the source used, how you located or found the source (for example, which internet search engine you used to find the material), the main themes that you hoped to explore in the literature review, and a brief summary of how each academic article supports your argument. You should use around 30 academic sources with each source supported by 100 words of text.
In the literature review, you will provide a critical evaluation of the sources demonstrating how different perspectives exist within the area of business and management research. The literature review will be fully referenced within the text and in the Reference List using the Harvard system. The literature review must use robust and reputable academic sources. We expect you to use the University catalogue for your sources utilising academic textbooks and academic journals.
You will find an example of a synthesis matrix on Blackboard.
Your assignment should contain the same 30 sources in the synthesis matrix, the literature review and in the Reference List.
The assessment criteria for this assignment are:
• Critically research and select appropriate academic material on which to base your literature review
• Create a synthesis matrix demonstrating and justifying your choice of academic material
• Write a literature review using all the material from the matrix to critically evaluate the material found within the academic literature
• Reference the assignment accurately and comprehensively using the Harvard system of referencing
The assignment is designed to test the following learning outcomes:
• Critically evaluate current issues in business and management
• Critically assess academic literature in the area of business and management research
